It's all a million shades of slow evolutionary grey.
If it's not binary, then it must extend down into the quantum world. At all levels of organization, I can always ask a binary question: is there at least SOME consciousness here, or a total lack of it? For any collection of physical structures or processes, I can always ask that question, and the answer must be: yes, no, don't know. It is really only with superposition that instead of yes OR no, we can have yes AND no. As for "don't know," we'd have to decide what that means-- is it a semantic breakdown, some kind of impermeability of information a la uncertain principle, or what?
